Jennifer Aniston is set to play an abusive mother in a television adaptation of former child star Jennette McCurdy’s bestselling memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died.
McCurdy, 33, first found fame as a star of the Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly. In her 2022 book, she opened up about the emotional and physical abuse she had suffered at the hands of her mother Debra from the time she was a young girl. Her mother died in 2013 of breast cancer.
